When a boat carrying hundreds of kilos of cocaine washes up near the small Azorean fishing village of Rabo de Peixe, young fisherman Eduardo sees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change his life. Along with his friends, Eduardo decides to salvage the shipwrecked drugs for profit. But what starts as a risky gamble quickly spirals into danger as they face pressure from law enforcement, the wrath of the drug lord who wants his cargo back, internal betrayal, and unforeseen consequences in a village unprepared for the burden. Ambition, desperation, survival, and morality collide in this tense, gritty drama.
